Interesting posts, I did a lot of RAF skins for IL-2 so I'm a bit of a markings and colours nerd too.
I'm willing to accept the discrepencies as noted as I think the default skins in CoD are a HUGE improvement over what IL-2 had, and to be honest we won't know what is 'wrong' until we have the final version in hand and can see for ourselves what choices we have in the GUI for markings.
Having said that, I have three things to point out about the RAF paintschemes I've seen so far in the screenies that really do bother me as they are such basic items:
1) Why is there no B camo pattern seen on any RAF aircraft, all I've seen is the A scheme? Odd and even numbered serials carried different camo patterns, A for odd, B for even. A simple matter of assigning a mirror image camo layer to the aircraft if an even numbered serial is chosen in the GUI.
2) Red in RAF nationality markings is far too orange, especially under certain lighting.
3) Font used for RAF serials is unlike any I've seen in period photos. Different manufacturers had different fonts but they didn't look anything like what CoD is using. Stands out like a sore thumb.
BTW, if I've learned anything from skinning it's that artist's profiles are usually inaccurate. Period photos for the win.
